Project Overview: Learning to Perceive Global Environmental Change

Students will make repeated local observations of ecological phenomena (temperature, wind speed, pH, cloud cover, soil, etc), graphically represent and analyze these data, and relate these larger ecological processes such as prevailing weather conditions, season changes, climate change, or impact of humans on the ecosystem.

Information pertaining to the following sections are to be compiled in a formal Power Point Presentation to be presented during our exam period.
